Snow: living with and without it...

We are having an unseasonally warm winter so far, especially compared to the last few years here. We had a few days of great snowfall - showing delightful promise - then were hit with a truly warm streak and it all melted away. It has been in the 50s here, sunny, bright, blue and gorgeous. I didn't even wear a coat yesterday....in Ohio....in January?!!!? That is shocking and unbelievable. (For those who truly understand this, I salute you!)

Anyway, I dug up a couple of old pics of our first snow in all its splendor from last year to share ........unfortunately I forgot to take pics of this year's first snow (something I usually remember to do because I just love the beauty of the very first snow fall.)

You know, I wonder......when the snow does really hit us how much time will pass before I am bellyaching about spring'slate arrival? Ok, I admit it: perhaps I *am* a tad bit too hard to please, haha. But there is something to say about too much of any good thing quickly becoming a bad thing. That certainly includes the cold, wet, grey winter snow!

I really do love the winter season with lots of powdery awesome snow to play in, for walks in, and for the sheet joy of making snow angels.

I live in Curacao but am visiting family in Maine right now. I am freezing but all anyone says is how unseasonably warm it is. :)A few blogger friends and I have collectively introduced a fun challenge for January. It would be so awesome if you want to participate! http://thespacebetweenblog.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/imagine-the-impossibilities-challenge/ Karah @ thespacebetweenblog

I understand! I live in southeastern Michigan and we've had a couple dustings of snow but nothing else and I kind of miss it! (not driving in it though, lol)Love the pics, Found your blog from Debbie Doos newbie party.
